Nominated for seven Oscars, and winning two (for Best Actress Frances McDormand and Best Original Screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen), “Fargo” is perhaps the Coens’ best film — and that’s saying a lot — certainly rivaling their 2007 Best Picture winner “No Country for Old Men.” (Writing “Coens” and “Oscars” in the same sentence is still a bit painful for us die-hard “Inside Llewyn Davis” fans.)

Starring an unraveling William H. Macy as an unwise Minnesota car salesman who hires two thugs for a kidnap-and-ransom scheme, and Frances McDormand as the level-headed cop on the case, the film is a neo-noir masterpiece of cultural specificity. Hilarious and deeply upsetting in equal measure, with ace work by the Coens’ go-to cinematographer Roger Deakins and composer Carter Burwell. Deakins’ commentary on the film is one of the special features in the new Blu-ray.

Meanwhile, “Fargo” is heading to the small screen, exec produced by the Coens and starring Martin Freeman (“The Hobbit”) and Billy Bob Thornton. Check out the teaser trailer here.
